After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

Princess Xiang nodded in agreement: "That's true. If the Crown Prince really becomes emperor, it won't just be the people of the world who will suffer, but also us."

The young couple were surprisingly on the same page about this matter.

King Xiang chuckled: "Let's not talk about that. I'll sleep with you tonight. Keep up the good work."

"Alright!" Princess Xiang smiled and immediately reached for the wooden box under the bed.

However, upon opening the box, all the props inside had vanished.

Princess Xiang was stunned: "Where are my things?"

The Prince of Xiang waved his fan smugly, quite pleased with himself: "I've thrown everything away, let's see how you bully me now."

"Oh!" Princess Xiang calmly pressed down the lid, kicked the wooden box back under the bed, went to the dressing table, opened a small drawer, and took out a white jade horn pendant.

When King Xiang saw this thing, his face froze, and the next moment he got up and ran outside without saying a word.

The old woman guarding outside was very perceptive; she immediately closed the door and thoughtfully locked it.

The Prince of Xiang was furious, pounding on the door and yelling, "You old fool, do you want to die? Open the door for me!"

The old woman outside pretended not to hear, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and told the servants to go and rest.

A short while later, the sound of King Xiang wailing and howling came from inside the room.

"It hurts so much... be gentle... be gentle..."

Meanwhile, the Eastern Palace was also in turmoil!

The crown prince wasn't truly stupid; he naturally understood the emperor's meaning and smashed all the ornaments in the room to pieces.

Chen Ji was terrified, but she had no choice but to step forward, her voice as gentle as could be: "Your Highness, perhaps we should send someone to invite the Empress back?"

"Do you need me to tell you? I'm furious right now!" The Crown Prince gritted his teeth and forcefully pressed Consort Chen's head down.

Chen Ji was furious, but she had no choice but to pretend to comply.

Situ Qiang was so angry that she smashed everything in her room to pieces, cursing Tang Rui as a "little bitch" over and over again.

She genuinely didn't understand whether Tang Rui was there to bring her bad luck.

It's one thing to be a princess, but why do they even want to steal the future husband she's chosen?

"Tang Rui, do you really enjoy stealing my things? I won't let you get away with this!"

Situ Qiang's face twisted in fear, which terrified all the maids in the room.

...

"Achoo!"

"Achoo!"

Tang Rui, who was being cursed, sneezed several times.

At that moment, Rong Momo poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it to her: "Princess, would you like to call the royal physician to take a look at you?"

"No need, I don't have a cold!" She was practically a doctor herself, and had already checked her pulse.

I bet someone is insulting her!

Besides, today is the day she made an appointment with her senior.

The thought had barely formed in his mind when someone came to report: "Princess, a strange woman surnamed Leng has arrived at the door and says she wants to see you!"

"That's wonderful! Take her to Father's study; I'll wait for her there!"

The servants quickly went to do it, and Tang Rui also led Rong Mama towards Situ Che's study.

When she arrived, Leng Ruohua was also there. Seeing her, she immediately walked over with a smile: "Let's make this clear first, I can only take a look at your father and try to find a way to calm him down. If it really is the Golden Silkworm Gu, your mother will have to come and get it herself."

"I know, thank you, senior sister."

The master had only three disciples: the eldest was the senior sister, the second was the senior brother, and she was the last.

Among the three of them, the senior sister's medical skills are the best.

Just as they were talking, Situ Che was pushed out by Mingyue and politely cupped his hands to Leng Ruohua: "Little Divine Doctor, thank you for your trouble."

"I dare not accept the title of divine physician, Your Highness is too kind!" Leng Ruohua returned the courtesy of a martial arts practitioner.

Tang Rui rolled her eyes at Situ Che, annoyed. "How did Father know my senior sister was here? I was thinking of giving you a surprise!"

Mingyue silently raised her hand: "I said it!"

"..." Who gave you permission to imitate my tone?

Tang Rui, hands on her hips, complained, "Daddy, can you please stop letting Mingyue follow me around? I feel like I have absolutely no privacy!"

Situ Che said somewhat helplessly, "I was just worried about your safety. Mingyue is highly skilled in martial arts, so I feel at ease having him by your side to watch over you."

Tang Rui snorted lightly, persisting, "Is it protection or surveillance?"

"It's for protection!" Situ Che rubbed his temples and emphasized again, "It doesn't mean surveillance. It's just that Mingyue has strong internal energy and exceptional hearing. You can't expect him to shut down his five senses, can you?"

Tang Rui pouted, then blurted out, "What about when I'm pooping? The moon can't be watching, can it?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyue frowned slightly and said before Situ Che could speak, "No, the princess's poop smells terrible, so I always stay far away from it."

Tang Rui: "..." How smelly can a child's poop be? Believe me or not, I'll sue you for defamation?

Seeing Tang Rui's discomfiture, Situ Che couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Perhaps... only the bright moon can tame this little devil.

Leng Ruohua took in this scene and silently felt relieved.

It seems that Junior Sister is living well here, and Prince Li is also a good person, unlike what Tang Ruiniang said, who was beautiful but had a fiery temper.

"Your Highness!" Leng Ruohua bowed and said, "I have to set off back to Beidi at noon, so let me take a look at your leg first!"

"Thank you for your trouble!" Prince Li asked Rong Mama to make tea and invited Leng Ruohua into the room.

Leng Ruohua took his pulse, then squatted down and rolled up his trouser leg.

Although Prince Li is crippled, it is clear that he has taken good care of himself over the years.

Even though he hadn't walked for many years, his legs hadn't atrophied.

After the examination, Leng Ruohua took out the bone flute from her waist and began to play it.

The melody is strange, sometimes sharp, sometimes soothing.

As she played, Situ Che felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, his face gradually turned pale, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Upon closer inspection, his fingers were trembling slightly.

After an unknown amount of time, Leng Ruohua stopped playing and looked at Situ Che with admiration: "Your Highness is able to endure what ordinary people cannot. I admire you."

As the whistle stopped, the excruciating pain vanished instantly.

At this moment, Situ Che looked as if he had been pulled out of the water, covered in sweat, and waved his hand wearily: "Little Divine Doctor, you flatter me. When you were playing just now, I had a severe abdominal pain. Could it be caused by a Gu worm?"

Leng Ruohua nodded: "It is indeed the Golden Silkworm Gu, but I have already hypnotized it, and Your Highness can walk like an ordinary person for the time being. But... it will only last for a year. After a year, the Golden Silkworm Gu will awaken, and Tang Rao will have to come in person to remove it."

At this point, Leng Ruohua, fearing he might not know who Tang Rao was, added, "Tang Rao is Rui Rui's birth mother and the master of the Golden Silkworm Gu. No one but her can control the Golden Silkworm Gu."

"Thank you for informing me!" Situ Che hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How...is she doing lately?"

Leng Ruohua's expression was somewhat complicated upon hearing this: "It's alright, at least she feels fine. After we return to Beidi, I will tell her about the Prince and see if she can find the time to come over."
